[visionlist] PsychoPy is hiring a full-time programmer (Wellcome Trust funded)

[Jonathan Peirce]

PsychoPy is hiring! We have two years of Wellcome Trust funding to 
create web-enabled experiments (from the PsychoPy Builder view) and to 
improve the application in precision, performance and general polish. If 
you're able to help that effort (you'd need good Python programming 
skills and a backgorund in science) then I'd love to hear from you!

Applications are invited for the above post based at the University of 
Nottingham, to help in the development of the open-source software 
package, PsychoPy.

The successful candidate will work with Jon Peirce, and the wider 
PsychoPy community, and will be principally responsible for maintaining 
the Python code in the PsychoPy application. The role will include:

  * Adding support for running online studies

  * Writing and updating existing documentation for the project
  * Support of users on the forum and via the github project page
  * Training of users via workshops and talks
  * Helping in disseminating the work via publications and conference
    presentations

Candidates must have a track-record of experience in behavioural 
sciences (psychology, neuroscience or related fields) as well as 
experience in Python programming and working with open-source software 
communities. We would especially like to hear from candidates with 
expertise in any of the following Python libraries/technologies: 
wxPython (or PyQT), OpenGL programming, audio libraries, and hardware 
interfacing (e.g. serial port communications).

This post will be offered on a fixed-term contract for a period of 2 
years. The post is full-time but is open to job share. Please specify in
